    Descripción

    My husband & I live on a lifestyle block in North Canterbury, about 20 minutes out of Christchurch. We’ve lived in the area for over 40 years & love being part of this rural community. Over the years we have developed quite a large garden but it has got a bit out of control and needs some attention.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    We really enjoy meeting new people and it’s always uplifting & humbling learning about their lives. For the last 10plus years we have had guests from Europe staying with us. We are very interactive - obviously providing breakfast for our guests - in our home at our dining table and we’re always there - chatting - giving travel advice. We also frequently provide an evening meal for our guests & which we share with them, spending a few hours with them. We would expect to do the same with anyone from workaway. We see the benefits really just about the experience of meeting people from different cultures - the exchange of life stories - other people’s lives. We find this very enjoyable and hope to meet like minded people who also enjoy the simplicity of meeting new people.

    Alojamiento

    We have a modern home with separate guest accommodation and easy access to laundry facilities. We envisage that evening meals would be taken together. Food for all 3 meals will be provided by us and while we eat a full diet, we are able to work around other food requirements. It may be that cooking some evening meals maybe shared.

  • Algo más...

    Algo más...

    There isn’t any public transport so you would require your own transport. But there is a multitude of options for time off. Our local town is just 15 minutes away. Beaches or hills (tramping) & Christchurch 20 to 30 minutes away.
    We have 2 small dogs (fox terriers).
    We expect people to be respectful of our property.
